LISBON (WNS)—Nazi offi¬ cials are discussing the possi¬ bility of enlarging the Lublin Jewish "reservation" In Nazi- occupied Poland to provide room for all the Jews In Ger¬ many and Nazi-dominated lands. It was reliably reported here.
The Lublin "reservation," to which the Nazis have sent thousands of Gemran and Po¬ lish Jews during the past year, has been described by refugees as "a living hell", lacking the most elementary saiUtary facili¬ ties. Hundreds of Jews, forc¬ ed to sleep In open barns and sheds, were reported to have died of pneumonia during the past winter.
The "reservation" has been cut off completely from the out¬ side world, Nazi authorities even refusing to deliver mall to Jews transported there. All re¬ quests from newspapermen to visit Lublin have been rejected. BarBed-wIre entanglements sur- roimd the area.
Another report from Nazi- occupied Poland stated that the Nazis have pressed Into com¬ pulsory service 600,000 Poles, Including appnoxhnately 200,000 Jews, for the purpose of build¬ ing new fortifications on the
